In the latest census they made up 1.2% of the country, even if you double that due to people afraid to put their sexual preference/identity on a census, that's still a minuscule fraction of the U.S. The power mostly comes from media representation due to Hollywood and the music industry and youth targeting stations like MTV pushing gay representation and acceptance decades ago. Social media and the internet lets alike peoples more easily group together for representation as well (though I'm quite sure a lot of those numbers just want attention or to be part of a group and got caught up in the new sexual identity push).
